CABINETS AND TABLES FOR THE HEAT-INSULATION: WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?

Fermentation, takes place through the appropriate management of temperature, humidity and time, within specific instruments designed for bread and pastry doughs. The fermalivitation process, in fact, takes place within fermalivitation cabinets or tables in which the dough is stored in an isolated and controlled environment, so that the product can rise independently and according to the set time.

The steps of fermalievitation are :

• Cooling: temperature between -5° and -10°C - From 4 to 6 hours;
• Storage: temperature of 2°C and constant humidity; 
• Pre-levitation: about 1-2 hours;
• Leavening;
• Delay or waiting.

Advantages of using a proving cabinet or table:

• Elimination of night work as the baker kneads and prepares during the day the various types of bread that he introduces into the fermalivitazione appliances and through programming, postpones the leavening automatically in the early morning so that when he arrives the bread is already ready to be baked.
• Improvement in product quality.
• Savings on the amount of yeast used 
• Zeroing out bread leftovers at the end of the day.
• Controlled environment and constant humidity and temperature that allows the total absence of influence of external factors that alter the appearance and flavor of the doughs. The most common yeasts, such as brewer's yeast or dough. The most common yeasts, such as brewer's yeast or sourdough, are sensitive to changes in temperature, and with controlled fermalivita in the proper cabinets, the result will always be perfect.

Some tips for making the best use of a fermalievitation.

It is advisable to cool the cell before introducing the product to about -5°C and as soon as the product size is obtained you need to quickly introduce it into the cell. Obviously, the quality of the raw materials is crucial for successful dough making. Since the leavening process is long inside the cell, we recommend not overdoing it with yeast and not baking the product as soon as it is removed from the fermenter. 

Currently on the market there are innovative fermalivitation cabinets that promote the technological development of bakeries, pastry shops and pizzerias the best models you will find on our website www.ristorazione-refrigerazione.it.
